2012 Horizon Scholarship Recipients
Students from YFC's City Life and Campus Life ministries are headed to Huntington University with the Horizon Leadership Scholarship.
Six Youth for Christ high school student leaders have been named the recipients of the Huntington University Horizon Leadership Scholarship for the 2012-13 school year. Launched in the fall of 2008, the Horizon Leadership Program is a collaborative effort between Huntington University and Youth for Christ designed to attract and retain students of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds by providing educational, leadership and creative outlets.
“In their own unique way, these emerging leaders have overcome challenging circumstances and experiences. They come to Huntington University with testimonies that will not only bless this community but will motivate and inspire adolescents from each of their respective communities who dare to dream of receiving a higher education at a Christ centered institution,” said Arthur Wilson, director of urban scholarship and mentoring for the Horizon Leadership Program.
